Politics and 'I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here'

'I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here' is a long-running British ITV programme. A largely obscure collection of people, are given money to gather in a televised 'camp' in the Australian 'jungle'. Here, the 'participants' are given various demeaning tasks (like eating various animal genitals) and eventually whittled down to winners by audience 'votes'. I'm not too keen on this programme. I guess I'm a bit squeamish about, even dead animals (now live insects can't be consumed), being exposed to such a generally awful bunch of 'humans'. It turns out, however, that even the 'voting' is meaningless (https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/nov/27/matt-hancock-im-a-celebrity-tiktok-votes-jungle). At least one participant apparently employed Public Relations campaigners to recruit young folk, mainly on TikTok. The recruits were then actioned to repeatedly 'vote' (online and by telephone) for 'their' favoured candidate'. One person can vote for the same individual several hundred times. Meaninglessness upon meaninglessness!
